Matthew 19: 4“Haven’t you read the Scriptures?” Jesus replied. “They record that from the beginning ‘God made them male and female.’ 5 And he said, ‘This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.’ 6 Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God has joined together.”

7 “Then why did Moses say in the law that a man could give his wife a written notice of divorce and send her away?” they asked.

8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had originally intended. 9 And I tell you this, whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery—unless his wife has been unfaithful.”

strangely... this states if the WIFE is unfaithful.. not if the man is unfaithful.... (rude...)

moses permitted divorce as a concession to our hard hearts.. isn't that really the truth... we get tired of the mess.. decide we don't have to put up with this and walk away.... but it is so much bigger than just marriage.. don't we do this in every area of our lives..

I would say a hard heart is surely one of our biggest downfalls....
